[simpits-tech] Power Supply

[Robert Bibber]

I have to work with what I have on hand - my pit building budget is finis! (for now). I have a bunch of these old Dell PSUs. I have been replacing many of the old computers at work and some of them were so bad they were scrapped for parts. 

If it wasn't for the spare parts I "inherit" from work - and from the junk pile behind my garage that comes from being a dedicated pack-rat, this project would never have gotten as far as it has.
